What does our venue offer for schools
Located in the centre of Poole on the shores of the UK’s largest inland saltwater lake, you can be on the water within minutes of arriving at Poole Park Lake! Here we offer the perfect introduction to the world of watersports, making it accessible and affordable to school children, individuals and families alike.
At Poole park we offer watersports like paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing, raft building, canoeing and teambuilding.
This centre is especially suitable for local school groups that require activity sessions on a full day, half-day or short session basis. The emphasis here is on participation for all our local schools, therefore making our short sessions exceptionally good value.
